While cardiac involvement is not a common presentation in human echinococcosis, it may lead to life-threatening complications including cyst rupture; anaphylactic shock; tamponade; pulmonary, cerebral or peripheral arterial embolism; acute coronary syndrome; dysrhythmias; infection; ventricular or valvular dysfunction, as well as sudden death. Here we report a 9-year old girl who was diagnosed to have hydatid cyst of the interventricular septum four years after diagnosis and medical treatment of pulmonary hydatidosis. Presentation, management and follow-up of the patient is discussed.

Cyst Rupture

Hydatid cyst remains a global health problem. Intraperitoneal hydatid cyst rupture is a life-threatening complication because it causes serious hemodynamic instability and allergic reactions. No clearly defined guidelines exist for dealing with ruptured cysts or intraperitoneal spillage, though emergency exploration remains the standard approach. We present here a case of a 35 -year- old woman who developed spontaneous rupture of a Giant hepatic hydatid cyst. However, patient could not be taken up for emergency surgery in view of very poor chest condition. She was managed by placement of an intra peritoneal drain and lavage with hypertonic saline. Subsequently, patient underwent two surgeries for definitive treatment of the giant hydatid cyst. At one year of follow- up, patient has no evidence of any recurrent disease. Intraperitoneal drain placement and lavage with hypertonic saline may be considered an option to contain peritoneal implantations while patient is being optimised for exploration.

Background. Hydatid cyst is an endemic disease frequently localized to the liver. It is frequently observed in Southeast Europe, Middle East, and Turkey. Although the cyst rupture can occur spontaneously, it can also occur upon albendazole treatment. Its surgical treatment includes cystotomy, capitonnage, and wedge resection. Material-Method. A 56-year-old male immigrant was admitted with fever, pain, and cough. Albendazole treatment was initiated and elective surgery was planned. Upon his admission to emergency service, he was diagnosed with pneumonia, and a spontaneous cyst rupture was detected. Result. Thoracotomy and cystotomy were performed. Bile leakage aspiration and lung wedge resection were also performed. Conclusion. Different surgical methods are used in the treatment of hydatid cysts depending on the localization and complications. Follow-up with antihelminthic drugs such as albendazole and mebendazole is recommended in medical treatment.

A number of studies demonstrate that patients with traditional risk factors (TRF) have not only increases primary risk of atherothrombotic events, but are also associated with many complicates and poor prognosis.Purpose: assessment of TRF effect on the incidence of complications and outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Materials and methods: in 255 patients hospitalized with ACS were retrospective determined the TRF prevalence, frequency of the complications and correlation between the presence of TRF and the risk of complications and long-term prognosis (follow-up 1 year).Results: patients had TRF very often, 80% patients had more than 3 TRFs. The presence of some TRFs (smoking, abdominal obesity, family history) was associated with a significantly increased risk of complications in patients with ACS, including life-threatening. Effect of TRF on long-term prognosis was not determined.Conclusion: the findings suggest the need to evaluation TRF not only in primary preventive and also to improve the effectiveness of risk stratification in patients with ACS.

One of the important unfavorable events that occur during the course of the cardiac hydatid cyst is rupture of the cyst and embolism of the germinative membrane. Peripheral arterial embolism of this germinative membrane is uncommon but is a potential risk due to the nature of the disease. Ruptured cardiac hydatid cyst should be suspected in young patients who have a peripheral arterial embolism and come from sheep-raising areas and/or if they have a suspected embolectomy material resembling germinative membrane. Following the embolectomy and reconstruction of the circulation in the involved extremity, ruptured cardiac hydatid cyst should be diagnosed immediately and excision of the cardiac cyst should be performed as quickly as possible. In this case report, we present two patients who had lower extremity embolism originating from the ruptured cardiac hydatid cyst and were operated on for cardiac cyst excision.

Introduction: Cardiac involvement in patients with muscular dystrophy associated with Lamin A/C mutations (LMNA) is characterized by atrioventricular conduction abnormalities and life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. Little is known about cardiac involvement in patients with emerin mutation (EMD). The aim of our study was to describe and compare the prevalence and time distribution of cardiac arrhythmias at extended follow-up. Patients and methods: 45 consecutive patients affected by muscular dystrophy associated to laminopathy or emerinopathy were examined. All patients underwent clinical evaluation, 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG), 24 h electrocardiographic monitoring, and cardiac implanted device interrogation. Results: At the end of 11 (5.0–16.6) years of follow-up, 89% of the patients showed cardiac arrhythmias. The most prevalent was atrial standstill (AS) (31%), followed by atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/Afl) (29%) and ventricular tachycardia (22%). EMD patients presented more frequently AF/AFl compared to LMNA (50% vs. 20%, p = 0.06). Half of the EMD patients presented with AS, whilst there was no occurrence of such in the LMNA (p = 0.001). Ventricular arrhythmias were found in 60% of patients with laminopathy compared to 3% in patients with emerinopathy (p < 0.001). The age of AVB occurrence was higher in the LMNA group (32.8 +/− 10.6 vs. 25.1 +/− 9.1, p = 0.03). Conclusions: Atrial arrhythmias are common findings in patients with muscular dystrophy associated with EMD/LMNA mutations; however, they occurred earlier in EMD patients. Ventricular arrhythmias were very common (60%) in LMNA and occurred definitely earlier compared to the EMD group.

Introduction: The non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) account for more than 50% of the total number of patients with ACS. The mortality rates after NSTEMI are not significantly different when compared with patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Aim: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the assessment of clinical, laboratory and instrumental data during hospital stay provide any additional independent information in predicting the 3-year major cardiac events after NSTE-ACS. Methods: We observed 490 consecutive patients, who were admitted to the emergency cardiology department with NSTE-ACS. The patients' baseline characteristics, blood analysis, left ventricle (LV) and renal function data were assessed and analyzed. The median follow‑up time was 36 months. The endpoint was cardiovascular death. Results: The results of our study show that the risk of cardiovascular death during the three years follow-up after multivariate adjustment increases with older age (> 64 years), history of diabetes, prior myocardial infarction and history of angina pectoris, lower ejection fraction (<50%), degree of myocardial hypertrophy (the thickness of the interventricular septum >1.25 mm) of the LV and the degree of diastolic dysfunction (E-wave deceleration time (DT) < 150 ms), silent myocardial ischemia during first 24-hours, high pulse pressure on Day 1 (>49 mm Hg), glucose level > 7.5 mmol/l on admission and moderate kidney dysfunction (CrCl <60 ml/min). Conclusion: In patients with NSTE-ACS, we report the cardiovascular death risk factors within the 3-year follow-up period in the present study. We thus conclude that it is important to identify the patients with high risk of future cardiovascular complications.

Abstract OBJECTIVE Spinal hydatid cyst is a serious form of hydatid disease affecting fewer than 1% of all patients with hydatid disease. We report 3 healthy patients who presented with progressive paraparesis attributed to a histologically proven intradural hydatid cyst. METHODS There were 2 children (1 boy, 1 girl) and 1 adult with a mean age of 12 years. The median follow-up duration was 16 months. Spinal magnetic resonance imaging was performed in the 3 patients, and an anatomic and topographical diagnosis of the intradural hydatid cyst was made. RESULTS Magnetic resonance imaging scans revealed cystic lesions with peripheral contrast enhancement. Surgery was performed through laminectomy, complete resection was achieved, and antihelminthic treatment with albendazole 10 mg/kg−1 per day for 6 months was included in the postoperative treatment. The patients improved after surgery with normal motor function. CONCLUSION This localization is rare and serious, but its prognosis is excellent if diagnosis is made early enough and surgery is performed in time to prevent cyst rupture.

Abstract Hydatidosis or cystic echinococcosis is caused by infection with the metacestode stage of the tapeworm Echinococcus . Cardiac hydatid cyst is a rare disease (%0.5-%2) and its symptom is depending on the size and site of infection. The growth of hydatid cyst is usually slow and asymptomatic and just about 10% of patients with cardiac hydatid cyst are symptomatic . The left ventricle is the site of cardiac hydatid cysts in 55% to 60% of cases.Involvement of the interventricular septum is quite rarer.Surgical excision is the preferred treatment. We are reporting a patient with cardiac hydatidosis who was medically treated mass cause of refused the surgery.A 27-year-old woman presented with atypical chest pain and dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large cyst in the interventricular septum. Thoracic computed tomography showed a cystic lesion in that site, and magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a 32× 34-mm mass. The patient was treated with albendazole 10 mg/kg for 6 months. After a 6-month follow-up, echocardiography revealed reduction in the size of the cyst. We consider this is the infrequent documented case of cardiac hydatid cyst which regressed with only medical treatment Abstract P685 Figure. Hydatid Cyst in the IVS
